Create a single node Kubernetes image for local testing with VMware Fusion.

kubestack-solo

This repo contains a Packer configuration template that can be used to create a Kubernetes VMware image for local testing.

Build

packer build -var-file settings.json kubestack-solo.json

Start Kubestack Solo VM

$ /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun \
  start output-vmware-iso/kubestack-solo.vmx

Configuring networking

By default the docker bridge IP is set to 10.200.10.1/24 and the Kubernetes service portal range is set to 10.200.20.1/24. These ranges will only be assible inside the VM. In order to reach pods and services from your local Mac, run the following command to add static routes:

Replace $vm-ip-address with the IP address of the VM running Kubestack Solo:

sudo route add -net 10.200.10.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -host $vm-ip-address
sudo route add -net 10.200.20.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -host $vm-ip-address

Configure kubectl

$ kubectl config set-cluster local --server=http://$vm-ip-address:8080
$ kubectl config set-context local --cluster=local
$ kubectl config use-context local

You now have a single node ready for use.

$ kubectl get nodes

NAME        LABELS    STATUS
127.0.0.1   <none>    Ready
